At Toyota Research Institute (TRI) were on a mission to improve the quality of human life. Were developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this groundbreaking shift in mobility weve built an extraordinary team in Energy & Materials HumanCentered AI Human Interactive Driving and Robotics.
The Mission
Make generalpurpose robots a reality.
The Challenge
We envision a future where robots assist with household chores and cooking aid older individuals in maintaining their independence and enable people to spend more time on the activities they enjoy most. To achieve this robots need to be able to operate successfully in convoluted unstructured environments. Our mission is to answer the question What will it take to create truly generalpurpose robots that can accomplish a wide variety of tasks in settings like human homes with minimal human supervision. We believe that the answer lies in cultivating largescale datasets of physical interaction from a variety of sources and building on the latest advances in machine learning to learn generalpurpose robot behaviors from this data.
The Team
Our goal is to redefine the field of robotic manipulation enabling longhorizon dexterous behaviors to be efficiently educated learned and improved over time in diverse realworld environments.
We have a deep multifunctional expertise across simulation perception controls and machine learning and we measure our success in terms of fundamental capabilities development as well as research impact via opensource software and publications. Our north star is a fundamental technological advancement in building robots that can flexibly perform a wide variety of tasks in diverse environments with minimal human supervision. Join us and lets make generalpurpose robots a reality.
Were looking for a driven engineer with a make it happen mentality. The ideal candidate is able to operate independently when needed but works well as part of a larger integrated group at the forefront of pioneering robotics and machine learning. If our mission of revolutionizing robotics through machine learning resonates with you get in touch and lets talk about how we can create the next generation of AIpowered capable robots together!
